for the 2004 film I, Robot. However, the Audi fleet shuttle quattro, as Audi refers to it, is completely virtual. It only exists within the computer, and Audi did not have to create a physical model for the car.

“Designing the Audi fleet shuttle quattro was similar to customizing a tailor-made suit. We adapted it to the requirements of the world in ‘Ender’s Game’ and at the same time had to take care to preserve our brand values,” said Frank Rimili, chief designer for the film project.

Ender’s Game is the story of a future where Earth in under attack by an alien race. The world begins collecting children to find a future military leader for the human race. One of them is beyond all of the others and quickly rises to become Earth’s military commander.

The film stars Asa Butterfield as Ender Wiggins and includes Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley in major roles.
